The bottled water is more of a green issue than a "greenback dollar" issue in many cases. And before you point out that tap water is "free," please note that NYC residents, at least, pay for their water, payment that has gone up and up and up in the past few years. You'd need to actually factor how much that tap water costs re the taxes, as opposed to the bottled water (which can be gotten on sale in plenty of places) and then compare prices. <br /><br />RS,<br />I can sympathize. I have a sister in the Lawrence area and I've smelled and tasted that tap water--once was enough.What I don't understand is why, given the mega taxes that are paid in your area, some kind of treatment option has not been explored and put into affect.ProfKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954446826821665314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-25872512564196636692009-10-20T17:25:28.042-04:002009-10-20T17:25:28.042-04:00Sorry Tom but the stuff out of the taps in every m...Sorry Tom but the stuff out of the taps in every major city is NOT safe and/or palatable. I live in Nassau County in NY. There are enough people living in the 5 Towns area to qualify us as a major city. And there is no way you can drink the water that comes out of our taps. For one thing, it stinks like hell, and it tastes like it too. Not so sure I was joking when I told my wife I'd like a gasmask for Chanuka.RSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-7844813462214299802009-10-20T16:29:10.865-04:002009-10-20T16:29:10.865-04:00You'll know times are really bad when people s...You'll know times are really bad when people stop buying bottled water and use the perfectly safe stuff that comes from the taps in every major city.Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-47527449615174697132009-10-20T16:05:43.795-04:002009-10-20T16:05:43.795-04:00Lissa,
